A Case Report of Retroperitoneal Ectopic Pregnancy and Review of Literature
REP is difficult to diagnose because of its rarity and nonspecific symptoms. Early diagnosis relies on serum β-hCG testing, ultrasonography, and radiological examination. When β-hCG is elevated and no gestational sac is found within the uterus or at common ectopic sites, REP should be considered. Surgical resection is the primary treatment for this condition.
